Slides of talks

I have slides for many of the talks which I have given in recent years, and some from further back. When I have slides available and some of the material covered is not in one of the papers which I am otherwise putting on my site, I shall try to put them on this page

Miscellaneous

Here are some talks which I cannot reliably date. If anyone recognises and can place them then I shall be happy to know.

A talk called Stone Duality gives old general observations about Categorical Logic.

A seemingly untitled talk links Scott's D-infinity model of the lambda calculus with polarised linear logic and Girard's Ludics.

A talk titled Proofs in Pictures was written in the early days of what are now called String Diagrams, presumably just after I learnt from John Baez of the diagrammatic approach to the Frobenius Theorem on Division Algebras.

Another untitled talk on Polarised Linear Logic gives an overview of some relevant Category Theory.

1991-2000

In July 1995 Dana Scott received an honorary degree from the University of Edinburgh. Mike Fourman organised a meeting by way of informal celebration, and I gave a talk celebrating the Scott's time as Professor of Mathematical Logic at Oxford. The talk was called Dana Scott: The Oxford Years.

In September 1995 I gave a series of four lectures at a summer school on Semantics and Logics of Computation at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge. My title was Game Semantics. The treatment in these slides differs from that in the corresponding paper.

In July 1996 I was an invited speaker at the Association of Symbolic Logic meeting in San Sebastian-Donostia, and at the last minute was asked also to give a Tutorial. The invited lecture was Proof as Process and the tutorial Linear Logic.

At the 11th International Workshop, Computer Science Logic. Aarhus, August 1997 I gave an invited lecture Constructing Categories of Abstract Games.

I gave an Invited Lecture Sequentiality
at Mathematical Foundations of Progamming Semantics XIV, Queen Mary, London, May 1998.
The work described is joint with Robin Cockett and Andrea Schalk. I hope sometime to describe the relation with other abstract game models.

2001-2010

At the Joint AMS/SMF Meeting, Lyon, July 2001, Special Session: Logic and Interaction, I gave an Invited Lecture Interaction of Strategies by Composition of Interleavings.
It reports on joint work with Andrea Schalk.

In March 2006 I made a trip to Kuwait as a guest of KFAS, the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences. I gave two long lectures at Kuwait University, the first being formally part of the Kuwait Lecture Series which is a component of the Kuwait Mathematics Programme at Cambridge, and the second being a more specialist lecture.
The abstract of the first and abstract of the second lecture give some idea of what is in the slides.
Kuwait Lecture: Algebra and Logic
Further Lecture: Higher Dimensional Categories

I also gave a couple of lectures at the 34eme Ecole de Printemps en Informatique Théorique whose subject was Jeux en sémantique et vérification.
